Terms

Last Updated: Dec 10, 2025
Rekindle Terms of Service

Rekindle (“Rekindle,” “Rekindle Now,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” as the context requires) operates and provides the Rekindle websites, applications, digital products, technologies, tools, and online platform (collectively, the “Rekindle Platform”). The Rekindle Platform includes all content, guides, resources, listings, profiles, hobby recommendations, and communications tools offered through rekindle or rekindlenow on web or social platforms.

These Terms of Service (these “Terms”), together with any documents incorporated by reference (including the Rekindle Privacy & Cookie Policy), constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Rekindle, governing your access to and use of the Rekindle Platform. By accessing, registering for, or using the Rekindle Platform, or by clicking “I accept,” “I agree,” or similar, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Rekindle Platform immediately.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THEY CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS (SEE SECTION 25).

I. Overview of Services

Rekindle is a digital hobby exploration platform designed to help individuals discover or rediscover hobbies through curated Guides, digital educational materials, and optional virtual interactions with experienced hobbyists (“Hobby Buddies” or “Buddies”). Buddies may offer virtual conversations, digital guidance, equipment suggestions, creative feedback, or other non-physical, informational support (“Buddy Services”).

Rekindle does not offer or facilitate in-person activities. All Buddy Services are strictly virtual unless the user independently initiates or arranges an in-person interaction outside the Rekindle Platform, which Rekindle does not endorse, supervise, or assume any responsibility for.

Members who engage with the Rekindle Platform, including browsing Guides, interacting with Buddies, or using any digital tools, are referred to collectively as “Members.”

II. Member Responsibilities and Assumption of Risk

1. Virtual-Only Platform

The Rekindle Platform is designed exclusively for online, virtual, informational interactions. Buddies may provide:

  • Tutorials
  • Guidance
  • Suggestions
  • Feedback
  • Resource recommendations
  • Digital Q&A

Rekindle does not supervise or manage any relationships formed through the Platform.

If a user and a Buddy independently choose to meet in person or engage in off-platform activities, they do so entirely at their own risk. Rekindle does not endorse, facilitate, verify, monitor, or assume responsibility or liability for such interactions.

2. Safety and Guide Accuracy

Rekindle provides Guides, lists, and suggestions created by Buddies or other contributors. While we aim to provide helpful information, we do not verify all information, nor do we guarantee its completeness, safety, suitability, correctness, or reliability.

By using the Platform, you acknowledge:

  • Guides may contain errors, outdated information, subjective opinions, or personal methods.
  • Buddies may not be certified instructors or formally trained professionals.
  • You must exercise your own independent judgment before attempting any hobby-related task.
  • Certain hobbies may involve physical, financial, or emotional risks.

You assume all risks associated with attempting a hobby or following any guidance provided through the Rekindle Platform.

3. No Background Checks

Rekindle does not conduct background checks, identity verification, credential verification, criminal screening, or qualification checks on Buddies or Members. Any decision to interact with a Buddy is solely your responsibility.

Rekindle is not responsible for:

  • The accuracy of a Buddy’s profile
  • Misrepresentations by Members
  • The conduct of any Member online or offline

Members must use sound judgment and take appropriate precautions.

4. Disclaimer for Digital Guidance

As a platform, we do our best to provide accurate information and make your experience seamless. However, we do not verify every detail, and we do not background check every Buddy who participates on our site. It is up to the Buddies to provide accurate, up-to-date information. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at rekindlenow@outlook.com.
